Facility Inspections
On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this place excelled in our inspections category, where it earned an A+. Few facilities performed better in this area. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that we were able to find deficiency data for this nursing home. Without having all of the deficiency data for this facility, it was challenging to assess the place in the area of inspections.
Short-term Care Quality
Contributing to its profile, this facility also received a score of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this category. Our short-term care scores are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place Ohio in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of moving patients more frequently.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was long-term care, which proved to be this nursing home's worst category. We gave this facility a D in this category. Of course, this category hurt the facility's overall profile to some degree. For prospective patients in need of a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 95.23809 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this place also keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
